When he said these words, Wu Yali was sitting behind Xu Tongdao. They were sitting in the bathtub together, and she was rubbing his back.
Because she was behind him, Comrade Xu could not see her expression when she said this.
He wanted to turn around, but she raised her hands to hold his head.
"Don't look back!"
"It will be gone by the beginning of next spring?"
Tongdao Xu gave up the idea of looking back at her, but he did not give up the idea of asking.
Wu Yali: "Yes, I will inform you when we can meet."
Tongdao Xu frowned, "How can you hold it in after not seeing each other for such a long time?"
Wu Yali: "..."
After a few seconds of silence, she replied in a low voice: "I can, don't worry about this, just promise me, okay?"
What the hell are you doing!
Tongdao Xu didn't believe she could hold it in.
But since she asked again and again, he was not a candy and had to pester her.
But he still wanted to know the reason, "Why exactly? Can't you just say no?"
Wu Yali: "Oh, don't ask. Anyway, it will only last a few months and it will pass soon. When the time comes, I, I will make it up to you. Be good! Be obedient, okay?"
She not only coaxed him with words, but also with actions, holding him in her arms like a son.
Tongdao Xu felt that she was particularly gentle and coquettish tonight.
This was something they had never experienced in such a long time together.
He thought of a saying: When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
She must be hiding something from him.
Her request that they stop having trysts before spring can only mean one problem - if they continue to have trysts during this period, the secret she has hidden from him will most likely be exposed.
What is it that she wants to hide?
For a time, Xu Tongdao thought of many possibilities in his mind.
Each one is difficult for him to accept.
However, before his suspicion was confirmed, he did not want to argue with her or affect their relationship.
So, he agreed.
We won’t see each other again until spring begins.
When he agreed, a sentence from "Sun Tzu's Art of War" flashed in his mind - a war never tires of deceit.
Hold her steady first.
Wu Yali was very happy when she heard that he agreed. While the water in the bathtub was still warm, she took the initiative to play a small game with Comrade Xu.
…
Everyone has the ability to have premonitions.
The difference is that some people's premonitions are very accurate, and some people's premonitions are inaccurate.
The general situation is that the smarter the person and the more experienced the person, the more accurate their premonition is.
Reflected in the love scene, veterans' premonitions about a relationship are often very accurate, while rookies' premonitions are sometimes accurate, and sometimes they are just misunderstandings caused by stupidity.
At around two o'clock in the morning, Comrade Xu came out of Wu Yali's house and walked on the empty and cold streets. In fact, he had a premonition in his heart.
His premonition told him that he and Wu Yali might not be able to stay together for long.
He had experienced similar premonitions several times in his previous life.
Before every relationship is about to end, he has more or less such a premonition in his heart.
He admitted that Wu Yali was very enthusiastic and proactive tonight, and even her tone and voice were somewhat flattering and flattering.
But Tongdao Xu thought it was quite fake.
It's a bit like coaxing a child.
She thought that by being nice to him, taking the initiative, and pleasing him, she would be able to coax him to be nice and promise her everything.
Thinking about tonight's scenes in his mind, Tongdao Xu lowered his head and lit a cigarette and smoked with squinted eyes.
He felt that Wu Yali might really be coaxing him into treating him as a 17-year-old silly boy. As he thought about it, he laughed to himself.
I don't think I can blame her.
After all, he does look like a 17-year-old now.
It is really embarrassing for her to treat him as a peer.
A gust of cold wind blew on his face and body, making him feel the chill coming from his face. Xu Tongdao suddenly stopped and looked back at the door of her house for a few seconds.
In fact, he really didn't want to think bad things about her.
In the past few months, they had met frankly and rubbed hands together. He really liked her a little bit, but he was always unwilling to think the worst about the woman he liked.
But tonight, her words and deeds, her request...
It made him unable to stop thinking bad things about her.
He lowered his head slightly and took another puff of cigarette. When the smoke was exhaled, Tongdao Xu turned around and strode away.
For many years, he has longed for warmth and a spiritual haven.
But years of rough life have also given him the courage to face any situation head-on.
…
Another evening.
The afterglow of the sunset was still shining on the street. Comrade Xu and a few people in the store were having a work meal, and there was a roar of a car engine on the street behind him.
What caught their attention was that the roar of the engine suddenly stopped outside their store.
Comrade Xu subconsciously stopped his chopsticks and looked back.
Ge Lianghua: "Huh? Is it Mr. Zhang?"
Cao Min: "It's really him."
Huang Mei: "Why is he here again? It's been so long, and I don't know how his mother's surgery went..."
They were discussing in low voices, and Xu Tongdao had already put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, frowned slightly, and stood up to greet them.
He was also curious as to why Mr. Zhang was here again today.
Mr. Zhang, who has just stepped out of the driver's door, is dressed in style today.
He was wearing a long black woolen coat, with its sleeves flying as he walked. Under the coat was an elegant suit, and under the suit was a white shirt and a burgundy tie.
On her feet were a pair of polished black leather shoes.
Not only that, he also had a white scarf hanging around his neck.
If he had another toothpick in his mouth, he would be no different from Xu Wenqiang in "Shanghai Beach".
By the way, it seems that many rich people these days like to dress up like this.
Mr. Zhang, who had just gotten off the car, walked around the front of the car and walked quickly.
I met Mr. Xu at the door of the store.
There was no smile on his face, but when he saw Tongdao Xu, a smile appeared on his face.
"Mr. Zhang, what are you doing?"
Comrade Xu spoke first.
Mr. Zhang stretched out his right hand in front of Xu Tongdao. Xu Tongdao was a little surprised, but he still reached out and shook his hand.
"Little Master, I'm here specifically to express my gratitude to you. Last time you helped me, I said I would thank you very much later. I'm here today to fulfill my promise."
His tone was sincere and his expression was sincere.
When Comrade Xu saw his face, there was no joy in his eyes. Not only was there no joy, he also noticed the loneliness in his eyes.
Thinking that when he came to get steamed mutton dumplings that morning, it was the day when his old mother had an operation...
Comrade Xu had a bad feeling in his heart, "Mr. Zhang, is your mother going to have surgery?"
The smile on Mr. Zhang's face suddenly turned a bit bitter. He shook his head slightly and said, "The operation failed. She has been gone for a few days."
After a pause, he cheered up and smiled at Xu Tongdao: "Little master, I know you have to do business at night, do you think this is okay? Let's make an appointment, for example, at noon tomorrow, I will drive over to pick you up!
Let's go have a meal together then? You shouldn't be busy during the day, right? Give me a chance and let me thank you properly!"
